Ariana's POV
I headed downstairs after hiding so much away.
The only reason I was taking this risk was because I wanted to reduce the rate of being in his face all the damn time.
What I wanted to achieve needed to be brought into fruition or else I was going to start all over again and I hated it.
One of the things that I didn't want to be involved in was making sure that people realized that I had so many things on my hands.
I bumped into the head chef who looked at me like she had not been expecting to see me.
It wasn't a new thing.
"I'm so sorry. I was about to bring your meal up." She apologized so much that I started smiling.
There was nothing wrong with the fact that she had decided to take it upon herself to make a fuss out of the issue but at the same time I just wanted to relax.
"It's nothing." I banished her thoughts.
She shot me a stare like she had not expected me to talk to her.
"I'm so sorry but I would do better!" She apologized frivolously.
If this was the way they behaved around her I was going to have a hard time staying because it was always going to land me in more problems than required and I didn't like it.
"It's not your fault that I didn't come down on time." I whispered.
Of course it was a lot of work handling the daughter of the Luna and I understood everything from your perspective but this was just border line worrisome.
I was supposed to have another identity outside what they wanted to paint me as and honestly speaking I just wanted to live life to the fullest and not allow myself to be hindered by anyone.
"Nobody goes around here without doing what they are told. We would not allow anybody..."
"Enough of the description Martha." Marco's commanding voice interrupted her.
The hair on my nape rose so fast that you would almost think that something was wrong somewhere without realizing that it was just one of those things.
"I apologize, alpha." She whispered, before jetting off instantly.
"Intimidating your pack members now are you?" I whispered hoping to irritate him even more.
Marco's face remained hard as granite. "Of course only you would have something to say about others keeping secrets instead of speaking like it's nobody's business."
His calmness upset me even more than necessary and I hated to be in such a situation.
But at the same time I had already found out that the only way to remain on top was to pretend like I didn't even have the slightest idea of anything going on.
"Your mom will be returning today for special issues. I hope you are fine?"
A flicker of concern was the only thing that told me that he even remembered that we had a one night stand.
A mind-blowing one at that.
It would have been easier to forget if he was bad at it but right now he was so great that he had me fantasizing about him in secret!
I folded my arms, staring at him. I was supposed to enjoy my stay here instead of thinking that things were going to get complicated.
"You don't have to worry about anything. The only thing I need you to worry about is treating my mother so well that you wouldn't have me hounding you." I grinned.
I knew that it was going to upset him but that wasn't going to stop me from doing whatever I wanted to do anyway so he had a few hours to go.
"Do you honestly think that we should talk things out or are you doing this out of spite?" He folded his arms in return.
His muscles bulged, sending another wave of thrill down my spine.
I wasn't supposed to be looking at him in this way. I was supposed to stay at him like he didn't even exist because that was how he wanted to treat me.
"I do not hate you like you think I do, but things have to be done in order. If you want me to believe that everything is going to be fine, you have to eat with me downstairs without acting up."
I burst into laughter as soon as he mentioned those words because he was only joking and trying to make a fool out of the situation but that was not going to work.
"Do you really think that this is happening and you don't have any hand in this?"
"I believe that if we are sensible enough we would be able to handle issues maturely. I would be having some alphas over tonight, you could join us or..."
"What is my presence supposed to do there?"
He cracked a smile, "maybe this is the perfect opportunity for you to find a man. Have you thought about that?"
"No, I can already see how this would work out and trust me when I say that I will not be playing your games Mr alpha."
"Marco." He snapped.
"Alpha..."
"You don't want to get on my bad side, Ariana." He warned dangerously.
Who said that I didn't gravitate towards danger? It made me feel alive and I was not going to risk anything else besides what I had already gotten.
"Yeah, I'm sure of this, but I need to see how far you would go to cover your shame just because you don't want people to find out the kind of person that you are." I hissed.
There was no amount of things that I could have said to keep myself out of the loop because then it would only be a waste of time and energy and I hated it.
"So if we already agree that we have nothing to do here then it's time for me to get out..."
He grabbed my hand and pinned me against the wall, my chest heaving and panting much after.
